Coaching vs Mentoring vs Counselling

Posted 21 August, 2012 by Paul

Background

Jackie’s video interview on coaching (on this site) has attracted a lot of interest, and in Management Lessons I have a couple of worksheets on coaching. It’s definitely a ‘hot’ area at the moment in management. Here is a very simple diagram that I use as boardwork in class: it can serve as a warmer to a ML worksheet, or kick off a discussion with no further use of materials. I got the idea below from Jackie.

One Comment

Thanks, Paul. A nice succinct distinction between these three hot topics! I believe coaching is now being further classified into things like “transformational”, “financial”, “life”, ” personal” and “developmental”. An interesting field, indeed.
